The Rock Of Arranmore: A Narrative Dramatic Poem In Three Scenes With Introduction (1902) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165594047)

The Rock of Arranmore is a narrative dramatic poem written by John O'Neill and published in 1902. The poem is divided into three scenes and is accompanied by an introduction. The story is set on the island of Arranmore, off the coast of Ireland, and follows the character of Eoghan, a young man who is torn between his love for his home and his desire to explore the world beyond it. The poem is written in a lyrical style and explores themes of love, loss, and the search for identity. The introduction provides context for the story, discussing the history and geography of Arranmore and the inspiration behind the poem. The first scene introduces Eoghan and his family, as well as his love interest, Una. The second scene sees Eoghan leave the island and explore the wider world, while the third scene sees him return to Arranmore and confront his conflicting emotions. Overall, The Rock of Arranmore is a poignant and beautifully written piece of literature that captures the essence of life in rural Ireland at the turn of the 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
